POF Rogue is a great rifle :tup:
At around $2k, but definitely a quality rifle !

Yeah…the normal cost of parts, plus time, plus tools (if you don’t have them), sometimes equals, factory gun. Then you have to get it running and diagnose it. Sometimes I just go a built/proofed gun. Buy up parts and making your dream come true…sometimes can be a nightmare.

:yeah:
Especially with AR10s :tup:
I have read horror stories of chasing problems on home builds on AR10s.
The POF 6.5C, is interesting. If I was looking for a larger variant, it would be hard to not go with a proven reliable factory gun. Then accessorize as I see fit, :chuckle:
If I was going to build one though, the 6mm ARC would be high on the list with a 6.5 Grendel a distant second. The Grendel has a decent selection of available bullets, but the 6MM ARC is a flat shooter. And both will hit hard. And both use the AR15 platform instead of the AR10. I am really starting to like .243 ish calibers. :hello:
fly-by:
This build is very light and shoots sub-MOA for the first 3 shots then really opens up. Not an issue for a hunting rig. Key is the 16" pencil barrel.

The rest is nothing special:
DPMS lower
Aero upper
Good aftermarket trigger
super slim hand guard
Generic collapsible stock
Light optic
Alchase:
Sweet rifle!
Could it be opening up because of heat?
What scope is that?
And what trigger are you using if you don’t mind me asking?

I'd get a 12" handguard or smaller. You don't need those long handguards on a hunting build.
16" barrel but don't bother with a brake. Too loud and a flash hider is better for hunting.
I'm not a fan of the pencil barrels unless you really don't plan on range shooting.
I doubt you can get to 8 pounds but it will be pretty light. In thick woods a 4x is all you need.
